After i washed the engine i test drive and the engine hesitate to accelerate on certain point like between 10 and 15 miles/hr like when you press the gas down like choking. It doesn't happen before i've washed it

Mario:
Cances are you got one of the ignition components wet and it will need to dry out. Does it feel like a missfire? Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked to make sure any vacuum hoses wern't disconnected when you cleaned it?

Let me know.
